The Gates of Artemis #3
The Return of the Gods
Battling Titans? Check.
Overcoming the Primordial Trials? Check.
Getting the hang of this whole Daughter of Artemis thing? Check.
Listening to a crazy smart friend who warns things are about to get bad? Uh, well . . .
If there’s one thing Lucy Cole is good at, it’s shoving things she doesn’t want to think about to the back of her mind. So when her friend Desmond tells her a prophesy about the ancient gods returning, that’s exactly what she does.
But then things start to get weird. And for someone who’s been yanked into different worlds and faced down mythological creatures, that’s really saying something.
All signs point to something bad on the horizon, as in the gods returning bad.
And Lucy realizes she really should have listened to Desmond . . .

SO GOOD! I could sit down for hours and fawn over every little word! I got into these kinds of books because of the amazing Sarah A Volger ❤. Now I love these books (I finished the series 😥) This is definitely a 100% you have to read book!

A nice bow 🎀❤️
Love everything from start to finish. It was wonderful. I'm not going to provide any spoilers or hints. I would say, I wish there origins of Lucy parents was highlighted more. Anywho, I'm not usually surprised about many plots, I would say this caught me of guard a few times. I did love figuring out Gideon's, which I suspected since book 1! I felt all loose ends was neatly concluded. I wish they had one more adventure.

This was a great follow-up to the other two books in the series with some interesting commentary on the Greek gods. The interesting twist on how the gods were hidden/imprisoned and who stayed on earth was surprising but made for an explanation from some of the other info in previous books. I'll be interested to see if Athena comes up in future books.
